This invention relates generally to protectors and has more particularreference to a novelbaby bottle protector and heat retainer.

The invention has for an object the provision of; a device of the classmentioned,

which is of simple durable construction, desirable in use and efficientin action, and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

ber container provided with a flannel lining and made of a top andbottom section separable forpermit'ting the insertionof a baby bottle."A nipple may be engaged upon the top end of. the top section which isreduced for receiving the nipple. Ameansmay be provided for normallyholdingthe top and bottom sections in engaged positions. Windowapertures are formed; in thecontainer for permitting an inspection ofthe contents thereof.

For further comprehension of'the invention, and of the objects andadvantages there of, reference will be had to the following deecriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of theinvention are more particularly set forth.In the accompanying drawing, forming a 3-0 material part of thisdisclosure Fig. 1 is .a side elevational view of a device constructedaccording to this invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a horizontalsectional View thereof. Fig. 4c is a View similar to Fig. 1, butdisclosing a modification thereof.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view, taken on the line 5-5of Fig. 41.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary vertical sectional 4 view, taken on the line 66'of Fig. 4'.

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary vertical sectional View, taken on the line 7 7of Fig. 6.- i 8 isa similar view toFig. 7 showing a modified form ofjoining my bottle protector.

The reference numeral 10 indicates generally a rubber container having atop section 11 and a bottom section 12.v The top end of the top sectionhas'areduced neck 13 with flange sections 14 for'receiving a nipple 15.V

The lower end ofthe top section has a re The inventionproposes the useof a rubthe wall forming the container. The co-axial side of thecontainer to the very bottom thereduced portion 16- for engagingwithinan increased opening 17 in the top ofthe lower section 12. Thearrangement is such that the sections may snugly fit together andfrictionally maintain their engaged positions. 4

Eachnof the sections are provided with a flannel lining 18 or anyothersuitable padding'ma'ter'ial for engagingagainst the, sides of 'ababy-=bottle and aiding in maintaining the heat thereof. A plurality offall absorbing projections 19 project fromeachof thesectionsof thecontainer for striking the ground and absorbing the shock; in the eventtdhat the container and contained bottle is re I 7 plurality of windowapertures 20 are formed ma vertical row in the container, both the topand lower sections for permitting an inspection of the contents thereof.The in ner flannel lining l8"necessarily must have 1 similar aperturesaligned with the. apertures 20 for permitting the said" inspection.Pref" erably several of the projections 19should be arrangedfon'thelower'end of the container for acting as legs in supporting thecontainer in a vertical position.

yln the'modified form oflthe device illus trated in Figs. 1, 5 and 6 thetop section is shown with a projecting pin 21 near its lower edgeengaging in a bayonetslot22 formedin the bottom section at its top edge.Anipple lever23 ispivotally mounted intermediate of its ends as at 24:on the outer side of the contamer and has an inner end 25 projectinginto 5-, spring 26 normally tends to urge'the, outer end of the lever 23outwards. A flexible stiff wire 26 connects at its top end with theinner end 25 and passes thru an opening 27 inthe.

of. In the closed condition of the container with the pm 21 completelywithin the bayonet slot 22 an aperture 28 aligns with the opening 27 sothat when a nipple is engaged upon the top of the container, the nipplelever 23 will be movedinwards for moving the wire 26 downwards into theaperture 28 and locking the sections of the container against rotationso that the pin 21 cannot be withdrawn from the bayonet slot.

As shown in Fig. 7 the top section 16 is pro vided with a plurality ofmale members 16 of the snap fasteners adapted to engage a plurality ofcorresponding female members 17 I secured to reduced portions 17 of thetop section 11. In Fig. 8 the reduced portion 16 is made to interlockwith a reduced portion 17 7 of the top section 11. c

'Whi1e I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it is to be understood that I do-not'limit myself to theprecise construction herein disclosed and p the right is reserved to allchanges and modifications coming within the scope of the in: vention asdefined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, 'what I claimas new,fand desire tosecure by United States Letters Patent is v 1. A baby bottle protectorand heat retainer, comprising a container of rubber with a flannellining, and consisting of an upper and a lower section oined forseparating upon relative rotation, the top of the upper section beingreduced for receiving a nipple,- a lever pivotally mounted on saidreduced portion and arranged for depression upon the engagement ofawnipple and upon depression moving: a'wire for latching the sectionsigainstrotation.
